There was sometime where I was having no problems with allergies, then hanging out at a friend’s house, my friend commanded his teenage son to go weed whack a bunch of weeds by the road (“get off the computer and do something useful!” It was utterly useless though). I immediately started sneezing and had pretty significant allergy problems for like 3 weeks.

Interesting… I have a couple relatives who use it constantly. They both definitely have anxiety problems, and would be unlikely to consider Flonase as a contributor.

Before I found out I had Celiac, I thought I might be allergic to soy. It definitely is in a ton of foods all over the place. I knew someone allergic to corn, a similar situation. Gluten (wheat, barley, rye) is tough to avoid too… besides being nearly ubiquitous in packaged foods and at restaurants, cross contamination is rampant, especially when it comes to flour.

I see you cited environmental allergies, which means airborne pollen or fungal spores etc. Personally, while I generally avoid medications, and hate the drowsiness from Benadryl (and the dementia), Allegra works great for me. Lasts about a day, is very effective, and there are no noticeable side effects.

I also have food allergies. For that, I read labels, and ask questions at restaurants. I’m allergic to tree nuts (pecans, almonds, cashews, basically everything called a nut that isn’t a peanut) but not peanuts. Thankfully most dishes which have tree nuts tend to call them out in the title or description. Allergens from a list of 8 (9?) are required to be bolded or listed as an allergen in the US for packaged foods. I pay attention to “may contain” or “produced on equipment/in a facility that…” warnings, but note that in the US, those are optional.

It’s not about benefiting America, though, just benefiting Trump by trying to lower fuel prices before the election.

I thought the entire idea of fucking up the economy, killing a bunch of people, degrading our military status and spending tens of billions was to prevent Iran from “taking out” a city? Helpfully, the ex-WWE douche Cheung explains he obviously meant the opposite of what he said.

Love that he’s doing a rally in Grand Island. For anyone not familiar, it’s a rather boring and methed up town of about 50,000 about 3 hours from Omaha.
